20:26 The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the topic of mobilization and lowering the mobilization age is indeed discussed during negotiations with Western partners. But Kiev believes that the bigger problem now is the slowdown in the supply of already promised weapons.
18:49 Spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Georgiy Tykhyi said that Ukraine hopes to have positive movement on the issue of consultations with NATO to strengthen the skies over Poland with the possible further transfer of Polish MiG-29s to Ukraine.

They are also active in the Limansky, Kupyansky and Vremivsky directions. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
16.55 Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, answering a question about strikes on "decision-making centers" in Ukraine, said that "today, during the day, anything is possible."
The propagandist asked the head of the Kremlin about the strikes on "decision-making centers" in Kyiv. To which Putin replied: "There was such a joke about the weather forecast. Here is the forecast: "today during the day everything is possible."
16.35 Approximately 24 thousand 120 mm caliber mines from a Ukrainian manufacturer, which turned out to be defective, are subject to return. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine.

[REGNUM] Russian military continues to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces and foreign mercenaries out of the Kursk region. The Defense Ministry does not report what operations the Russian army is conducting - this is a military secret - and which settlements have already been liberated. At the same time, the department reports enemy losses.
As of November 27, the Ukrainian army lost more than 36,000 soldiers in the Kursk region. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost a large amount of military equipment, including 223 tanks, 157 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), 122 armored personnel carriers, and 1,199 armored combat vehicles.
In turn, the servicemen continue to surrender to save their lives. The day before, a mass surrender in the Kursk region was captured on video. Boris Rozhin, an expert at the Center for Military and Political Journalism, published footage of a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war on his Telegram channel.
The video shows eight men in camouflage sitting in a room with their hands tied behind their backs and duct tape in front of everyone. Rozhin explained that the safest way for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is for the entire position to surrender without resistance.
The method is safe, among other things, because this way “their own” cannot get to them. The day before, the platoon commander of the 810th separate guards brigade of the Black Sea Fleet marines with the call sign Bakh said that Ukrainian soldiers tried to kill the British mercenary James Scott Rhys Anderson, who surrendered in the Kursk region.
A fighter who took part in the capture of a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces told journalists that during the rescue of prisoners, the Ukrainian Armed Forces began to fire on their own. The Ukrainians fired at the prisoners using FPV drones and mortars. According to Bakh, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked while they were crossing the river. The marines risked their own lives to rescue the prisoners. Everyone was shocked by the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Bakh noted, and the Briton realized that his own people wanted to kill him.
The Leninsky District Court of Kursk found at a hearing on November 25 that Anderson, as part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, illegally crossed the Russian state border and participated in military operations. The court remanded the British mercenary in custody.
THEY HID FROM THE ENEMY IN THE FORESTS FOR TWO MONTHS
The war came to the Kursk region on August 6 — with the Ukrainian army, mercenaries, Western missiles and deadly drones. The participants in the invasion showed their goals right away. Moreover, it became a kind of bravado — to loot some supermarket, film it and put it on public display.
Ukrainian soldiers are literally dragging everything that is lying around from the Kursk region. A telling incident occurred at the end of October. A Russian drone captured Ukrainian soldiers trying to tow away a VAZ-21 099 passenger car, which was filled to the brim with the stolen property of the region's residents. The criminals failed to complete their plan - they were punished by two Russian combat UAVs.
In turn, war correspondent Yevgeny Lisitsyn wrote on his Telegram channel that in Goncharovka, Ukrainian soldiers are “looting” literally every house. However, a similar picture could be observed earlier in other regions, for example, in the part of the Kherson region controlled by Kiev.
But while the Ukrainian military is looking for an opportunity to show off and line its pockets, Russian soldiers demonstrate courage and fortitude. A telling incident occurred during the fighting in the Sudzhansky district: the deputy platoon commander was wounded in the leg. Together with a 19-year-old soldier, they hid in the forests for two months, keeping their personal weapons. Only when the commander was able to move independently, they contacted the command and came to their own.
FAMILY REUNIFICATION AND VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL OVER RUSSIA
On November 22, the Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova reported the return home of 46 residents of the Kursk region who were taken by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the territory of Ukraine. Negotiations on the return of the remaining residents of the region are ongoing. Behind this fact is the painstaking work of many people: negotiators, mediators, human rights activists.
In addition to the efforts of the state, numerous volunteers play a huge role in helping residents of the Kursk region. This work is not only difficult, but also dangerous: often it is necessary to act near the front line, where local residents still remain.
But even where there is no risk to life, the importance of volunteer work is invaluable. For example, the Russian branch of the Red Cross has a special group of volunteers who help people find their relatives from the Kursk region with whom they have lost contact.
Andrey Maltsev, a specialist in restoring family ties with the Russian Red Cross in the Kursk region, said that they once managed to find the mother of one of the local men. The search took a whole month and was ultimately successful, after which the man thanked the searchers with tears in his eyes.
"Of course, this (personal gratitude from people. - Ed.) gives strength, gives joy and hope that everything will be fine and that we are doing a good, noble deed," Maltsev said. According to him, during this time they have helped reunite more than 700 families.
Russians from all over the country have set out to help those in need in the Kursk region. Everyone is making a contribution, whatever they can.
"The number of volunteers is growing day by day. In addition to Kursk residents, they come from all regions of Russia. I would like to say a special thank you to these people who voluntarily, from the heart, go, help, send help, support, food and things. A huge thank you to everyone, to all regions of Russia," said Acting Governor of Kursk Region Alexey Smirnov.
Volunteering unites different people. For example, student teams collect about three thousand food packages daily.
In addition to simple volunteers, people who own firearms — hunters — are also traveling to Kursk Oblast. One of them, a resident of Krasnodar, told journalists that he could not calmly watch what was happening and went to the border area.
"I'm 53 years old, I'm not much of a warrior, I guess. I can't run because of problems with my spine. But I still have a gun at home from the time I went on tours. I don't need it, but it could save someone's life. So why should I sit quietly at home when there's trouble in my country and people are dying at the hands of the fascists? I got ready and went to Kursk. At night, I sit there, guarding a store. It's even funny sometimes, like in "Shurik's Adventures" near a warehouse. Thank God, I haven't had to shoot yet," the man said.
According to him, they had to help people evacuate.
"We came to "cover" a family in Krasnooktyabrskoye. Granny, she is 86 years old, she can barely walk. She cries, she does not want to leave the house. But her grandchildren persuaded her, one great-grandson was with her. There is whistling and rattling all around, but she seems not to hear. She just leaned on the door and cried that "she will not be able to go to her grandfather's grave anymore."
We barely managed to calm her down, promised that everything would be fine, our guys wouldn't give up, we would bring her home. And we were standing there thinking: are they going to "let us out" of here right now? They were shooting recklessly, and another guy and I were just watching and trying to figure out if we would have time to shoot back if something happened - we weren't military, after all," the former hunter shared.
PROFESSIONAL DUTY AND EVERYDAY HEROISM
One of the legacies of military action is the land filled with explosives, unexploded ordnance and mines. The echoes of war can sound for many decades after the end of the hot phase of the fighting, taking more and more lives.
An important role in eliminating this threat is played by specialists from the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Today, their work is called “humanitarian demining,” the goal of which is to minimize risks to the population.
Devotion to professional duty can sometimes cost lives. At the end of September, the Ministry of Emergency Situations said farewell to the tragically deceased head of the pyrotechnic department of the pyrotechnic and special canine operations department of the Lider center, Vyacheslav Tsoffka.
"Our colleague was a professional. He participated in humanitarian demining in our country and abroad and each time risked his life. Since 2022, Vyacheslav has repeatedly traveled to the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics to carry out a noble mission," said the head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry, Alexander Kurenkov.
The tragedy claimed the life of a highly experienced professional, mentor and friend, he added.
Ivan Naumov's name became widely known back in August. The senior fire instructor of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is originally from Korenevo. On the day of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion, he went to the regional center on business. Returning, he saw a line of civilian cars, filled with things: people were hastily leaving the area of the unfolding military actions. Neighbors took his wife and their children away, but Naumov did not turn around and continued on to his native village.
By that time, Korenevo had already lost power and water, and the sounds of gunfire were becoming more frequent and closer. The rescuer began to evacuate the people remaining in the village. He made 5-6 trips a day, evacuating about a hundred people.
Among others, he saved an elderly woman, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, a participant in the Battle of Stalingrad. She was carried out of the house on a blanket, carefully placed in a car and surrounded with pillows to make the ride more comfortable. The woman heroically endured all the trials.
In turn, Naumov emphasizes that he himself has done nothing heroic. He considers the real heroes to be those who are now liberating his native land with weapons in hand.
